Our cutting edge innovation makes Norton Quantum Grinding Wheels last 50% to 100% longer - designed

for maximum performance and cost savings. With unrivalled precision, Norton Quantum Wheels provide the

fastest and finest grinding in the industry.

THE CUTTING EDGE OF ABRASIVE TECHNOLOGY

Norton Quantum is the new generation of ceramic grain with innovative organic and vitrified bonds specially developed to enhance grain performance:•A new alumina grain chemistry and shape developed from the Norton patented Seeded-Gel Technology

•This revolutionary ceramic grain multiplies the cutting efficiency by controlling the grain breakdown at the micrometric level

•A perfect blend between sharpness (free cutting) and toughness (life)•New developed bonds to optimize the grain-tobond adhesion and improve grain retention.
